So I tried another Pinterest idea today.
This pin using a muffin pan to create straight even rows.
I can see two different groups of people who might use this.
1. People who try to make a straight line and come up with a figure-eight.
2. People who are anal-retentive about having everything perfect.
To both groups of people I say the same thing.
It's a garden!
Who cares if they're perfectly straight and even!
Just because this is going to feed your family,
doesn't mean it has to be serious business!
Enjoy your garden!
Have fun with your garden!
I tried using the muffin tin, but to get those neat little dents you have to have freshly tilled and raked soil. And you need to press firmly on the tin. A garden is a lot of work. It's worth it, but using this just added unnecessary work. I don't have time for unnecessary work. I eyeballed my rows; using the border of my garden which is fairly strait.
If it's not perfect...oh well!
The truth of the matter is this; in the fall all these plants will be torn out of the garden or tilled back into the soil. If I don't like the configuration I had this summer, I'll just keep trying something new until I'm happy with what I have.
So don't make yourself the extra work of another dish to wash. Skip the muffin pan rows and just relax.
Happy Gardening!
